    IMHO got a reaction from pintere in How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?   
    Yeah, I left my country 1.5yrs ago, zeroed out all my previous life and business network that were so carefully built over many decades. Surely I did that just to be able to preach around the ideas that kill hundreds of thousands of people out of absolute craziness. Pls don't equate me with Russian propaganda, I eat enough **** trying to build a new life in a new country so late in age, yet never for a second did I believe I chose wrong.

    Seems like you are prone to making swift and uneducated judgements. The tag says "There's no place to cowards in this world" and the poor guy is in Russian Army uniform yet in Ukrainian warming coverall. If it's not a total set up. If it's authentic it's Wagner hanging his own, they did have brutal rules. So just open Google translate before meting out justice.

    When I first bought CMBS, I had 8 or 9 different churches I could pick from and place in the editor. Now I only have 4. I know they existed, because the buildings are still in the exploded game files and one of them is used in a map of Hostomel that I made, I just can't see the buttons for them in the editor. Any idea why they suddenly disappeared from my editor options? How do I fix it?

    Correct that is the user to user self help forum not the location for official support. For that go here: https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/
    The correct thing to do.
    Oh that's not a good thing. That will revert the version you have.
    So, for openers uninstall what you have and reinstall using the Download for the Base Game v2.18. Stop downloading and installing anything else - unless the pros at the help desk tell you to.
    You have it. That is what the base game download for v2.18 is version 2.18 of CMBS based on game engine 4.
    No stop downloading random stuff. Just stop. 🙂
    No.
    Entering your keys is not order dependent so no order. 
    There is no deactivation. Over time more activations are supposed to automatically be made available. You can confirm with support thought to be sure.

    IMHO reacted to Dr.Fusselpulli in bug or intended behavior?   
    It's a workaround for an engine limitation. Vehicle weapons can't be rearmed within a mission or dismounted.
    But certain vehicles, here the Jeep, can dismount their weapons.
    For this reason, they have a second TOW launcher with it's own ammunition as their team weapon, while the model of the TOW disappears, when no crew is mounted.
    As this is a combat vehicle, only the original crew can mount it.
    As the TOW launcher carried by infantry, and the TOW launcher mounted on the vehicle are independent weapons, they can't share their ammunitions.
    It also works the other way around. If you dismount and shoot all 3 three missiles, they jeep will still have its original 5 missiles loaded.

    But this way, it is possible to simulate the team to dismount with the TOW launcher at least in a similar way, as it would be in real life.

    IMHO got a reaction from rocketman in Czechmate Battle- baffled by map design (vague spoilers)   
    Guys you have to play CMBS more  RUS vs US or Excellent RUS (BMP-3/T-90) vs UKR  Thermals teach to:
    Never ever move armor to a place that can be fired at from a place that has not been under observation by two observer teams for at least a minute (and two-three minutes is much-much better). Count seconds for your vehicle exposure. 3secs for APs, 5secs for HEATs, 10secs for TL/ATGMs at medium distances. That is the time for the actual exposure - vehicles take some time to drive out of the view. Use pop-and-hide multiple times to trigger a shot and thus force a lengthy reload for an enemy armor. That reveals enemy armor position as a bonus if you have eyes to look at  Find unconventional observation angles for observer teams. Putting even 1-2 psn observation teams in front of enemy armor with thermals is a sure recipe for disaster. Even 1.0-1.5km distance is not enough - thermals can sometimes acquire targets pretty quickly. Be greedy with the number of people in observation teams. One guy is waaaay better than two and two is always better than three. Yes, you'd need more time to dwell upon the battlefield but you'd keep your guys alive. Hopefully How CMCW is easier than CMBS (so far ):
    No Javs that can be fired from inside the buildings with impunity. No thermals for US infantry. Relatively few thermals for US armor. PS
    CMCW is a really great game! Czechmate is a really great scenario

    IMHO reacted to TheFriendlyFelon in CMBS 2022 - Battle of Antonov Airport/Hostomel   
    Hey guys, I am putting the finishing touches on a campaign that focuses on the Russian VDV landings at Hostomel Airport on February 24th and 25th of this year, during the opening days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
    I could use some play testers to play through the missions and offer feedback to help me polish this up for release.

    The campaign features a 1:1 detailed scale map of the full airport and portions of the surrounding towns (Ozera, Blystyvytsia, Hostomel), a map of a town called Sosnivka that I thought would make a nice ambush location northwest of the airport, a map of the crossroads at Berestyanka, which you'll likely recognize from satellite imagery of the infamous 64km long Russian column from early in the war, and several custom flavor objects created for me by the incredible @Lucky_Strikeand @JM Stuff

    They don't have a strategy or a least credible forecast whatsoever and that's probably the most frightening thing. What comes tomorrow may be absolutely not what they anticipated and they are absolutely irrational in their reactions.

    Under the sanctions regime banks cannot process the payments. So the debtor may want to pay the interest yet the banks won't process the payment and the debtor will end up in default anyway. The license allows the banks to process the payments whatever they are. Normally the license exclusion allows some specific type of payments from / to specific parties.

    IMHO got a reaction from Ghost of Charlemagne in FORECAST SERIES: Putin’s Likely Course of Action in Ukraine   
    The really sorry thing is these are the people who really believe in it. They do believe they are serving a noble cause by cleansing Eastern Ukraine of people who are not "sufficiently Ukrainian". They would prefer an open war over giving up an inch of their beliefs. There's something profoundly wrong about people who think that every inch of an ideology of a kind is more important than people's lives.
    No, there will be a sigh of relief in every corner of Russia if a war can be avoided this way or another. Ukraine will probably cease to exist in the current form yet it will be a catastrophe for Russia as well.
    He believes if Ukraine will continue to grow stronger militarily (through NATO membership or through massive arms transfer) then a war is unavoidable sooner or later. And reading Haiduk I think he has a reason to think so. So all he wants is that Ukraine is not put over the threshold when it can venture to do what Saakashvili did in 2008. I'm far from being a Putin's fan yet to me personally it does not seem a price too high for avoiding tens of thousands deaths from both sides.
    Ukraine recently closed several TV channels and banned a political party that started to acquire significant popularity. The party never cried for Putin to come their only fault was they were considered more predisposed to find SOME accommodation if it ever comes to power. Ukrainian Far Right have a clear idea of what kind of Ukraine they want and they are ready to go any length to make sure it's the only way Ukraine can ever live. They take no prisoner neither with foreign policies nor with their own populace who dare to be less ideologically pure. If need be they are ready to stage a coup and overthrow a democratically elected government.

    IMHO reacted to Haiduk in Command Observation Post (COP)   
    @ncc1701e
    The game use these vehicles very simplified.
    The core of COP is 1V14 - vehicle of battery comamnder. 1V14 crew can establish single main observation post or two or three observation posts - main, forward and side. Usually there are main and forward. Main located near battalion HQ. Forward - close to forward positions. Forward obserwation post usually leads control platoon commander and he is a spotter (this is FO team in unit editor). Main observation post usually deployed out of 1V14 - equipmnet allows to use it outside. 1V14 has obsolete equipment, so by experience of Donbas war used mostly as transport, than for FO missions. In real life positin of 1V14 is "zero point" for artillery battery. Relatively it current coordinates, the  firing data are calculated. So, in real life you can't move 1V14 from previous position more than on several dozen meters and open fire immediately - you have to re-calculate own coordinates and this will take as miniumum 6 minutes for very rough result (and probably your firing will have big under/over shots) and about 20 minutes for more precise data. In the game you can change position and open fire simultainously.
    PRP-4M - this is the almost the same thing that Forward observation post, but which have own armor and this is vehicle of artillery battalion level. PRP can move on battlefield, determine coordinates of targets, transmit its to 1V14 or on higher levels etc. So, it almost similar by purpose to BRM-1K. PRP-4M has radar and even one of the first Soviet thermal sight 1PN59 (but in the game it probably has radar only). PRP-4M can conduct artillery recon in more improtant sector of artillery battalion or can be attached to one of battalion's battaries as additional recon means
    1V152 is new Russian FO vehicle wich should substitute 1V14 and 1V18 (not present in the game - the same as 1V14, but on the base of BTR-60PB for towed artillery) vehicles. But it also can be used with the same purposes like PRP-4.

    But indeed Russian brigades have MT-12. You also can see in manual, that 2S1 howitzer is available only for Russians, but you can take it and for Ukrainians too. When we wrote TO&E for the game in 2012, 2S1 really were moved out to reserve from Ukrainan brigades and we threw out them. But when the game was issued, 2S1 turned back IRL, so in some of first patches they were included again for Ukraine, but manual remained old )

    I doubt we can access to all information, which these planes are gathering. US, of course shares some information, but didn't give all picture.
    Maybe like that

    I'm in Kyiv and here enough quet. No panic, no assaults of supermarkets, no hordes of people in airports. Though oligarchs and many large businessmen flew away by private jets several days ago.
    Many western journalists came to Ukraine, especially to OOS zone on eve of "doomsday", but they are dissappointed and bored. They had to film reportages about scary, panic, empty stores, troops movement and pathos patriotic speeches of UKR troopers, which wiould go soon to their last stand. But... nothing of that. 7 years of war... People acustomed to such situation, especially close to frontine.

    US arty observation/recce vehicles improve ToT for arty bombardments if FO is mounted. May be they also improve precision though I haven't tested. Russian/Ukrainian vehicles do not have any effect on ToT so they're no more than a free taxi.
